    It’s easy to get caught up in diplomatic moves, but I keep thinking about the families on both sides who’ll still face daily uncertainty and hardship no matter what flags get raised. Recognition might shift politics, but who’s really bearing the cost when peace feels so distant?

    That recognition might not ease hardships overnight, but it could force leaders to negotiate enforceable borders and security deals that protect families starting tomorrow.
